Ah, yes, I think I know why the VP is avoiding you. But I would have enjoyed listening to the VP use a word salad to explain her campaign word salads.

Too bad you couldn’t ask her some of these. I especially would like to hear her answers to fracking and the border.

Thank you for this, Sharyl! I did the same thing when I thought she was going to be interviewed by Joe Rogan. In addition to your wonderful questions, here are some topics I wish someone could address with her; forgive the janky sentence structure:

*323,000 unaccounted for illegal immigrant children under this administration (I know you mentioned this, but it bears repeating)

*Recent plagiarism allegations

*Mandated an experimental vaccine on the populace

*Support of dismantling Title IX, allowing biological men in women’s sports and spaces

*Allowing gender surgeries for people in prison at taxpayer’s expense

*Gender-affirming surgeries for minors

*As CA attorney general, locked up prisoners longer than their sentences

*42 billion for broadband access. Not a single person received it. Where’s the money?

*Lost a high percentage of staffers; Kamala a mean boss?

*GOV TRACK listed her as the most liberal senator--before they removed it from their website

*Kamala jailed people for marijuana, yet admitted to Charlamagne that she smoked it

*Jailed a black mother for her child's truancy--though the daughter had a 540 Plan and was often hospitalized because of sickle cell anemia

*Tried to keep a young black man, Jamal Trulove, in prison for murder by not allowing evidence that would have exonerated him.

*As attorney general, kept black men in prison past their sentences for “slave” labor

*As attorney general, she dealt harshly with an undercover reporter who exposed Planned Parenthood for selling baby body parts. David Daleiden is STILL fighting that case years later.

*Campaign has manipulated Google search headlines, and now X’s Community Notes showing how the campaign has tried to prevent community note fact-checking of misinformation on its X account.

Ooh. Asking her to explain what fracking is is downright mean.

I would also ask her to define facism. I bet she can’t.

You go Sharyn!!! One more, VP Harris, were you vaccinated for COVID? How many Boosters did you get? Can you please show us your proof of vaccine certificate? How would you have specifically handled COVID differently ??

I've got $5 that says she can't describe fracking. I actually LOL'd on that one, Sharyl.

Minor edit of bulleted item: "President Biden and other officials wrongly stated that Covid is a pandemic of the vaccinated." I think "vaccinated" should be "unvaccinated."

You do know she was brought up in a middle class family, right?

I'm surprised she took that tack, rather than the "raised by a single mom" alternative.

Magnificent questions. I hope that journalists and especially journalism schools use this as a basis for lessons in how to formulate meaty, purposeful questions.

Well done. I would like also to dive a bit more into the attacks on our culture: 1) do you support Tim Walz “trans refuge” legislation to give temporary emergency jurisdiction over child custody cases if the child is seeking puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, sex change surgery or other procedures in MN?

2) Do you support California and other states legislation that prohibit teachers from informing parents if students decide they were born in the wrong body?

3) Do you believe all children should be taught they can be a boy, a girl, both or neither?

4) Do you believe schools should teach black kids they are victims and white kids they are oppressors? Why wouldn’t it be better to accurately teach the past and encourage all kids to seek excellence?

5) please define your views on #me too and how this relates to your husband allegedly smacking a date. Do you still believe any women’s allegations.

6) do you support rolling back the right of due process for college men accused of sexual misconduct.

7) did you support the closing of schools during covid especially the extended closures in places like California?

I could go on! None of the questions in your article or the comments have been asked or answered yet the election is theoretically tied. I hope the voters are asking these questions themselves - we can all easily guess the answers because “birds of the feather flock together”.

All excellent questions. Every one would be Kamala Kryptonite, if asked. I do think her insistence on softball, scripted questions - and incoherent responses to the few serious ones she had to answer - will be a factor in her losing the election.

Harris's reactions to those questions would've been hilarious. Her advisors never would've allowed that to happen. It's a shame it hasn't happened and obviously never will happen. And we'll never know the truth until it's too late and the damage is done.

I'm picturing the look(s) of panic on her face, and fidgeting and shifting in her seat, and actually looking around for someone to save her. Unless those earrings really are her Bluetooth connection to her handlers.

She wont become our president because she refuses to engage with the American people. Mayhem will ensue post election.

I will probably have to cancel my plans to see my grandkids in D.C. 2 days after the election. God help our country.
